The Royal Capital of Ingrassia. Itâs quite an enchanting city. Many things you can find here are quite novel and new. The buildings, the products, even the people. Theyâre all different compared to the rest of the world.
This is the general thought process of this worldâs residents.
In reality, this place looks just like any modern city you would find on Earth.
Itâs quite a normal sight to most of the Otherworlders. Of course, many of them would still choose to stay here due to the nostalgia this place brings.
Itâs totally different from the perfect mixture of modern and fantasy that Avalon embodies. [Raphael] really did a good job designing those buildings.
May you rest in peaceâ¦
(A/N: Hi I bring a message from [Raphael]. She said âFuck you, suck my dick, you useless masterâ.)
In any case, my companions and I are walking down a very large street towards the Free Guild HQ we can see in the distance.
Itâs quite a large building and easily noticeable due to being entirely covered with glass panes which are unique in this world since glasswork hasnât advanced enough to make giant panes of glass like that.
Not easily, at least.
And definitely not for cheap. Not only that, glass is quite fragile, soâ¦
Whoever decided to make the Free Guild HQ of all buildings like that is a fucking idiot.
Moving onâ¦
Rimuru- âHey, I'm gonna go talk with Yuuki Kagurazaka. Itâs gonna take a while, why donât you all look around the city in the meantime?â
I know Mikoto doesnât like sitting through important meetings. Hell, I donât like sitting through them either. By proxy, neither does Illya.
But someone has to and I would rather not put those two girls through this.
Mikoto- âAre you sure? Isn't Yuuki⦠you knowâ¦â
Off his rocks?
Rimuru- âYes. But what can I do, I need to become a teacher to meet with Shizueâs students and I can't just kidnap them and run back to Avalon with them⦠No, hold onâ¦â
Mikoto- âDonât kidnap them!â
Well, there goes that plan.
I raise my hand and drop it on Mikotoâs head while flashing a confident smile.
Rimuru- âDonât worry, you of all people should know that even if a dragon were to attack, I can handle myself just fine. Regardless of how I made him out to be, Yuuki isn't that strong.â
⦠At this point in time, at least.
As of right now, if my memories are correct, Yuuki shouldnât even be aware of what an Ultimate Skill is, let alone have one or know how to counteract one.
(A/N: I'm using the Light Novel as a reference here.)
So unless I just stand there and take down all my defences, Yuuki has no hope of winning against me. His Anti-Skill might be a problem, but nothing I can't handleâ¦
Although he will grow stronger at an insane pace and will eventually become a threat⦠That will only happen if I let himâ¦
Rimuru- âBesides, I have something planned for him.â
I say with a smug smile.
Mikoto stares into my golden eyes while I stare back into her tea-coloured eyes, my hand still slowly stroking her soft hair.
Mikoto- â*Sigh* If you say soâ¦â
After hearing my confidence, she gives up on following me and steps back.
As for Illyaâ¦
Illya- âOnii-chan! There are candied apples!â
Illya jumps up and down as she points to a stall selling candy apples with an excited smile on her face.
She was never once worried about me.
Itâs because she has that much confidence in me⦠right?
Right!?
*Cough*
Rimuru- âRanga, follow them.â
Ranga- âUnderstood!â
My shadow ripples a bit before it stills and Mikotoâs shadow, which my shadow is touching, ripples. Ranga moved from my shadow to Mikotoâs.
Mikoto just looks at her shadow before looking up at me with a wry smile.
Mikoto- âYou know that I also donât need protection.â
Rimuru- âOh no, this isn't for you. Heâs there to stop you from killing anyone.â
Mikoto- âHaah!? I won't kill anyone!â
Rimuru- âThat guy from the gate?â
Mikoto- âI wouldnât have killed him! ⦠I would shock him⦠just a littleâ¦â
Yeah, shock him into a fucking coma, why donât youâ¦
I stare at Mikoto with a (>_>) expression.
Rimuru- âRight⦠Well, I'm going now.â
I turn around and walk into the Free Guild HQ. Mikoto waves at me before she joins Illya and heads to the candy apple stand.
The doors (which are made of glass) slide open automatically as I casually walk in. I would assume that normally people would be awed at such a sight, but⦠meh. When you can tunnel through fucking space, normal doors all seem a bit lacklustre.
Inside, itâs very clean and well designed. There aren't many people here and itâs just this big room with a long reception desk at the end. No quest board or anything.
Well, this is HQ after all. Only B-Rank adventurers and above are allowed through those doors.
How did I know? Itâs because I saw the runes hidden on the door that only open when a certain rune pattern is sensed. That said pattern is on my B-Rank adventurer ID card. I can sense the same rune pattern on every other ID card in this building.
I guess thatâs why they have two guilds here in Ingrassiaâs Royal Capital, one of them is a normal guild and the other one is HQ.
I walk up to one of the receptionists. Thankfully, itâs a beautiful receptionist Onee-san.
???- âHello, how may I help you?â
She says with a practised smile.
Rimuru- âI would like to meet with Grandmaster Yuuki Kagurazaka, please.â
???- âDo you have an appointment?â
Rimuru- âNo, but I do have a letter for him with me.â
I take out the letter of introduction Fuze gave me back in Blumundâs Guild. I hand it over to the receptionist. She takes it with both hands and looks at it curiously as she walks through a door behind the counter, probably to contact Yuuki about this.
She later comes out again with the letter in hand, showing that exact same smile and handing the letter over to me.
???- âWe have verified the letter to be authentic. The Grandmaster has agreed to meet you, please follow me.â
She leads me over to the side of the room where you can see what I assume to be some kind of magical elevator.
I walk in with the receptionist and the whole thing explodes-
Wait no it didnât.
The ground lights up and more runes reveal themselves.
And THEN the whole thing explodes-
No, it didnât.
A quick glance at the runes let me know that this isn't actually a proper elevator, but more like a teleportation room. What these runes do is teleport the occupants into another place.
It only works vertically though, since they kind of fucked it by placing a shit ton of stabilisation runes to make it so whenever someone uses it, they donât puke.
An absolute abomination, if I had anything to say about it. Completely inefficient and I suspect they were only able to discover this sequence of runes that donât explode on use with pure luck.
These runes make me want to commit a hate crime. I donât want to look at such a sight anymoreâ¦
In any case, we teleport and I find myself on one of the top floors of the building.
The receptionist walks out of the âelevatorâ and I follow. They lead me to what seems to be some kind of waiting room.
???- âThe Grandmaster will meet you here shortly. Have a nice day.â
The receptionist bows and walks back where we came from and I just wait for my guest.
*Insert 12 minutes later Spongebob meme*
I am standing with my arms behind my back, staring intensely at the wall.
Itâs a marvellous wall.
Itâs so⦠wall-like. Beautiful.
*Creak*
Yuuki- âHello there!â
Rimuru- âGeneral Kenobi!â
I turn around and say.
Yuuki- ââ¦â
Rimuru- ââ¦â
Yuuki- â⦠What?â
What a fucking heathen.
Rimuru- âFuck this.â
*Snap!*
I snap my fingers and a rune reveals itself above Yuuki. I placed it there beforehand. Itâs kind of easy to set a trap like this when there are only two entrances, one of them being the elevator I came through.
The rune falls down on Yuukiâs head.
His bright eyes dull. I walk forward and place my hand on his chest.
Like a puppet without strings, his body slumps onto the floor.
Dead.
